Italian Serie A powerhouse Juventus, are eyeing a summer transfer for Nigerian striker Victor Boniface, currently playing for Bayer Leverkusen. He’s seen as a potential replacement for Moise Kean or Arkadiusz Milik.
Boniface has impressed scouts across Europe with his stellar performances for Leverkusen. He helped them achieve a historic domestic league double and a runner-up spot in the Europa League.

Despite missing a quarter of the season due to injury, he emerged as Leverkusen’s Bundesliga top scorer with 14 goals, contributing a staggering 31 goals contribution across all competitions in 34 appearances.
According to Tuttosport, Juventus aren’t just interested in Boniface. They’re also considering another Nigerian-eligible attacker, Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna. The Old Lady are aiming to bolster their attacking options ahead of the coming season by injecting fresh blood into their attack.
Boniface could be the answer if either Milik or Kean departs. Both are expected to leave the club this summer, with Kean’s lack of goals a major concern – he failed to score in all his appearances last season.
